Radicals at work : Radical‐mediated thiol‐ene addition of the thiol group of Cys to N ‐vinylacetamide gives acetyl‐thialysine (K S Ac), a near‐perfect mimic of acetyl‐lysine (see picture). The reaction is highly efficient with near quantitative conversion obtained in short reaction times. The generated K S Ac is functionally identical or similar to its native counterpart.
